If you play games on your PC what resolution do you play them at?

1024 x 768, it starts to get a bit jerky any higher which is a pain if you're trying to aim a rifle. Time for a new graphics card perhaps, I have at the moment only a TNT2. :)

When I play BG2 it's set to 1024x768 running in a Window on a 1280x1024 display (screen 1). I leave the email and messenger clients running on screen 2 :)

Don't play any of these 1st person 3d games as they give me motion sickness :(

BG2? Qu'est-ce que c'est? (what is it, if you don't do French :lol)

You sound like my mum gets motion sickness with a lot of these games. ;)
It's even worse when she tries the stereo 3d glasses :lol But they're incredible when you're sniping, it is so real.

BG2 = Baldurs Gate 2

I never used to have probs with 3d games until Wolfenstein came out, haven't been able to play one since. Anyone remember 3D Mosnter Maze - 40x25 resolution on a black and white TV :):)

Yes, that might be a good idea! It's harder to see details with a low resolution like that. "only a geforce"? That's better than my TNT2 and I run mine at 1024x768 :p There's a major difference between that and 800x600.

Just got max payne and am playing ita t 1024x768! Normally play at 1280x1024 but knocking it down a resolution and shoving all detail to max looks sweet.:)
